Folklore and Flesh: A Dark Folklore Anthology by Willy Martinez
A haunting collection of horror stories where bees whisper betrayal, rivers drown regret, and folklore gets hungry.
Dive into the “Folklore and Flesh Anthology,” a chilling collection that masterfully intertwines the grotesque with the mythical. This anthology features seven spine-tingling tales that explore the dark intersections of body horror and folklore, where the human form and ancient legends collide in terrifying ways.
Pre-order coming soon – Expected October/November 2025
The Siguanaba by Willy Martinez
For those who crave the fantastical, adventure, and legendary folklore, dive into an ancient tale of the Spanish conquest of the Mayan lands in Latin America. Discover the truth behind La Siguanaba. Uncover a story woven with suspense, mystery, and adventure as you peel back the layers of this mythical being.
La Siguanaba’s figure has been cloaked in mystery for centuries, her story passed down through generations. While many see her as a dark female specter bringing bad luck to those who cross her path, there’s more to her than what meets the eye. Some tales suggest she carries powerful symbols of transformation and power—symbols that could redefine your understanding of her.
Prepare to be enthralled by a journey that blurs the lines between reality and myth, where every legend carries a hidden truth waiting to be unearthed. Let’s embark on this epic adventure together!

Mad Men Dark Fiction Anthology
A three-story horror short anthology by A.R. Braun, Matt “Love-it or” Leavitt and Willy Martinez.
We start with Matt’s tale, a thought-provoking thriller that causes the reader to question his reality and what he fears within himself. The second tale explores the grotesque juxtaposed with beautiful nature, where the ending unfolds into a horrific dream, waking in even more terrible pain. The third tale is by seasoned horror writer, A.R. Braun – and his diabolical creatures never disappoint! A.R. Braun’s goal is to be on the banned book list; we think this tale may just be evil enough to be considered. A must-read before it does get banned!
Available now at Google Books, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Apple iBooks, Smashwords, and Amazon.
Phantom World by A.R. Braun
Phantom World is a trip into the sick mind of a hard core horror acclaimed author! Here, we will be introduced to unforgiving poltergeists, cute little ghost familiars, newly born ghost-entities learning about the afterlife, a romantic couple stuck in the netherworld, and a few more paranormal experiences you won’t want to miss.
While some of these ectoplasmic beings may come across as innocent at times, their stories unfold in a manner to inform the reader as to why they were not allowed into the heaven, or allowed to have a “peaceful” afterlife.

Gothic America: Collection of Gothic works prior to the 1900’s in America
Gothic America is a collection of a “Lucky 7” short vintage horror stories that were originally published prior to the 1900’s. This vintage throw back is set to be a horrific gathering for your very own Halloween gathering. These stories are quick, witty, and easily shareable with children in the room. Perhaps not in the 1800’s, but today’s children are ready for these horrors as they are more subtle in nature. They are not gore-heavy, or littered with loud and grotesque imagery. With the same friendly spirit that Washington Irving wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, this collection is also intended to be shared in a group setting of all ages. These stories are meant to be read aloud and in the dark.

Ghost Children: Two Gothic Haunts by Mary E. Wilkins
The ghosts in “The Lost Ghost” and “The Wind in the Rose-Bush” are not restricted ghosts, and this is how these ghosts differ from the other ghosts of writers of Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman time such as Henry James, Sarah Jewett or Ambrose Bierce. These apparitions may seem cute, but think twice as these ghost children will leave you with goose bumps. This double feature of Mary E. Wilkins short fiction is creepy enough to leave you sleeping with the lights on.
